Our Leadership Team

The Lexicon Group was conceived in 2006, with the mission of providing value-based education with highest standards of excellence. Staying true to our mission we have, over the past 16 years created over 10 plus educational institutes under the Lexicon umbrella-three high schools, eight preschools, an undergraduate college and a postgraduate college, catering to 16,000 plus students across Pune. Lexicon Group's motto 'Believe in Yourself' has been the hallmark of the group's attempt to reinforce student individuality. Our students’ uniqueness is further honed through our school curriculums which are rooted in educational psychologist, Professor Howard Gardner’s theory of ‘Eight Multiple Intelligences’

Our postgraduate offering, the Lexicon Management Institute of Leadership & Excellence which aims at 'Inspiration, Innovation and Discovery' has been successful in combining a high degree of industry integration with an equal measure of entrepreneurial orientation. The institute has won accolades at both, national and international levels for its process driven systems. The Lexicon Institute of Hotel Management, our hospitality institute offer best-in-class infrastructure and more than a dozen additional certifications. It is also geared towards providing our students with maximum return on investment and the best fit industry placement.

The Group has now launched the Lexicon Institute of Media & Animation with an aim to introduce industry ready media professionals in the field. In keeping with the above credo, the institute has on its governing board and advisory council, respected media mavens. Our students are bound to benefit from the real-life experiences they bring to the institute.

A warm welcome to our new students!

The Lexicon Group (established in 2006) has always looked towards the future even as it works hard for its success in the present. The group was amongst the first to realise the dire need for quality education in Pune city and set up the Lexicon International School. It paved the way for many others to follow suit. Today the group hosts an impressive list of educational offerings with its high schools and institutes of higher education. The Lexicon Management Institute of Leadership & Excellence – a postgraduate management institute, has been rated amongst the best within the state.

In the aftermath of the pandemic, when the world was still grappling with growth issues, the Lexicon Group was busy stepping into several hitherto unchartered fields like health & fitness, research & innovation, online test preparations, lifestyle and media. Post pandemic we launched our first hospitality institute, the Lexicon Institute of Hotel Management. The common binding factor in all our ventures has been the Group’s desire to add ‘Value’ and create a distinctive presence in the chosen field.

It is with this goal of adding `Value’ that we are now setting up the Lexicon Institute of Media & Animation. The media institute aims to nurture responsible individuals who can lead the media spectrum from the forefront in the near future. We have many eminent dignitaries from the media, advertising and corporate world collaborating with us in this endeavour.

Not only will our students be equipped with the skills necessary to overcome the many challenges they will face on graduating from the institute but more importantly, our focus is to ensure they are prepared to represent the media in a world that is likely to be vastly different from ours.

Thank you and welcome to the Lexicon Institute of Media & Animation! The Institute of trailblazers!

‘The only constant in life is change’. At the Lexicon Group we believe every change should lead to further improvement. This philosophy has helped build an educational legacy and continues to inspire all those who have studied within the hallowed portals of various Lexicon institutions.

The Lexicon resolution is to provide ever-evolving quality education across every domain of knowledge. Our goal is to offer the best education system that challenges and enthuses the inquisitive and intellectual minds of India. The unique selling proposition (USP) for all our educational institutes including the schools, our management institute as well as the hospitality institute has been our focus on providing contemporary pedagogies.

We have been implementing global standards of education across the board at all our institutions so as to equip our students to deal effectively with the many trials and tribulations that they are likely to face as they step out into the world.

The Lexicon Management Institute of Leadership & Excellence is already amongst the most admired higher education institutions in the state. We are confident of winning similar accolades for the newly launched, Lexicon Institute of Media & Animation that has already drawn up a detailed study and activity course for its scholars. An added advantage is the close-industry connection the institute has with people from journalism, advertising, corporate communications and press relations as also with the who’s who of India Inc.

I wish great success to all students of the Lexicon Institute of Media & Animation.

The phrase, ‘The pen is mightier than the sword’ first appeared in an 1839 play - Cardinal Richelieu by the British playwright Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Since then, the pen, a figure of speech for a free Press, has on many occasions proved to be a formidable force even defining the state of a nation.

A reaffirmation of media’s basic ideals has become a necessesity given just how inundated we are with information of all kinds, from all sides today. Having a well-trained and passionate media fraternity (press, marketing and advertising included) should be a given if all aspects of our media are to thrive.

That being said, launching an institute, the Lexicon Institute of Media & Animation in this case, to create media personnel who can fructify their client’s marketing and publicity goals and train journalists to report truthfully and objectively is a responsibility that requires determination and idealism. Fortunately, as the Lexicon Group’s past achievements indicate, the group has an equal mix of both. The institute’s philosophy of ‘Creating Media’s next generation of thought leaders’ is also an honest reflection of its commitment to the public and nation at large.

The Lexicon Group has always believed that it is critical that our scholars take pride in learning and developing in an inclusive environment respecting our cultural inheritance and each individuals' beliefs and value systems. At the Lexicon Institute of Media & Animation, we continue to hold on to our ideals of adding value and empowering our students to turn every adversity to advantage.

Supporting us in our endeavours are our longstanding relationships and partnerships with industry experts who, we are proud to say, comprise the institute’s senior leadership (Principal), faculty and board members. The institute’s students would do well to leverage the advantages of being in close contact with these media professionals, all of whom have shown keen interest in mentoring future media professionals.

Welcome to the Lexicon Institute of Media & Animation!

The in-built curiosity in us humans, naturally attunes us to knowing about the events and happenings around us. Media and its many manifestations simply refine this basic instinct and help us understand our world better.

Since we began work on the Lexicon Institute of Media & Animation, the team has intentionally revisited global and national media and advertising milieus. The introspection not only gave us a deeper understanding of the predominant and underlying media currents but also gave credence to our intent to set up an institute that efficaciously addresses the full spectrum of current and future media and mass communication perspectives. It also led to the development of our dynamic curriculum that supports all our program offerings-be it the 3 Year Program in Animation & Media Studies, 2 Year Program in Media Studies or our certification courses dealing in digital and new media opportunities.

While there is no denying that our goal is to build an institution that sets a standard for others to follow, the driving force remains the passion to be a part of a flourishing media and marketing world. Taking on a role as educators and facilitators to future media professionals is one that comes with great responsibility considering the hair-splitting subtleties that drive public opinion. However, it’s a role we are well equipped to take on.

The Institute of Media & Animation is backed by Lexicon Group’s strong focus on academics. The fact that our esteemed governing and advisory board members, all of whom have done path breaking work in their fields, are just as passionate about providing superlative education is a huge boost to our enthusiasm. Further, our ever-growing number of national and international academic partnerships ensures our students are exposed to varied real-life experiences as well.
